Description |
|
39 |
Column A (left), line 10 from top: “or less the size of your critical focus zone” should be “the size of your critical focus zone or less” |
|
39 |
Col A, 7 lines from bottom: “close” should be “critical” |
|
40 |
Col A, line 5: “North American Nebula” should be “North America Nebula;” same in figure itself at bottom right. |
|
67 |
The conversion from inches to microns is incorrect. It should be 2 microns, not 20 microns. |
|
68 |
Col A, 11 lines from bottom: “Shaprness” should be “Sharpness” |
|
69 |
Col A, 15 lines from top: “doens’t” should be “doesn’t” |
|
77 |
The conversion from inches to microns is incorrect. It should be 2 microns, not 20 microns. Corrected text: For example, an initial large step size for an f/5 scope with the TCF-S would be (2 * 55) = 110 microns. At 2 microns per step, this yields about 55 TCF-S steps to make up a large step. |
|
80 |
Col A, last line: “along” should be “alone” |
|
145 |
Col A, line 7: “D the” should be “Does the” |

| 154 | Col A, first bullet: "...exposure that..." should be "...exposure than..." |
|
172-3 |

|
175 |
Col A, line 16: “mount” should be “mounts” |
|
184 |
Col A, 5th line from bottom: “12V power supplies” refers to the 110V to 12V transformers commonly supplied with astronomy equipment. These are also called ‘wall warts.” The phrase “or use a 12V to 110V converter” should read “or use a 12V to 110V converter and plug your ‘wall warts’ into that. Make sure the converter supplies enough wattage for the equipment you plan to plug into it.” |
|
185 |
Col A, 4th paragraph from top: Tip from Bert Katzung: “The tail-light patching tape sold in auto stores works great for converting white flashlights to red. It’s like red scotch tape and it’s 2 inches wide. I even put it over the interior lights in my car to reduce disturbances at star-parties.” |
|
189 |
Col B, half-way down, the text describes performing calibration and then selecting a guide star. If you are lucky enough to have a single bright star suitable for calibration in the field of view, you can select the guide star first, calibrate, and then guide using the same star. |
|
190 |
Col B, 6th line from top: Tpoint is software available from Software Bisque. It greatly improves the pointing accuracy of most goto telescopes and mounts. It can also provide detailed measurements of how far off your polar alignment is, which helps you achieve a better polar alignment. |

|
207 |
Col A, line 2 from bottom: “user” should be “use” |
|
209 |
